. Jalbum 8.3 A breakdown and description of the work in my showreel slides/300_HG_36_128.jpg# Sun, 19 Jul 2009 09:32:07 -0700 All CG shot , I was given most of the environment for texture shading and lighting at the end of Battle 1. I painted the displacement on the walls at 10k and displaced them in Prman. I used the asset in all of the following rock wall shots and it it stood up very well and meant I was way ahead. Not resposible for Spartan and water shaders or texturing. All CG shot , I was given most of the environment for texture shading and lighting at the end of Battle 1.

I took over the supervision for the main efx elements as well as the massive ground plane. I painted the ground plane at 10k and did several procedural shading tricks. The I also wrote up all of the passes purely in Mel and maintained 1 scene for everything. It is also 100% raytraced. Thanks to a lot of hard work from Paul Jewel for the efx elements.

I setup and lit with Mayaman and Air coding all passes in Mel and python. The meteor asset had a lot of procedural work I mixed in with some great textures by Chris Nichols. You cannot see the best of what I put into the Earth however I aquired very large texture maps and mixed procedurals displaced and gained into the clouds to lift them up a little for self shadow. This is entirely raytraced too. We won Best Visual Effects in a Feature Length Drama. Mayaman, AIR, Photoshop, Maya All CG space shots for Impact.

Supervised the moon asset and created the moon asset. I this shot I created the Earth asset farmed out the efx work into 3 elements: Rocks, fluids and a particle vortex. I then had the guys publish these items and then I refered to the RIB them in a main efx asset voila everything lined up perfectly for a last minute hack. Thanks to Blair for such a great fluid sim. I was also responsible for lighting and initial comp development on all of these shots while working on another big hero shot. We won Best Visual Effects in a Feature Length Drama.

It is a tape worm which comes out of the toilet in this scene. It was setup mutlipass lighting including: Key, FIll, Ambient (HDR light samples that are very low), wetness (reflection) , wetness fire (reflection), SSS_Key, SSS_Fil, various mattes, occlusion, depth... all things you would expect. This is also raytraced using Mayaman and Air. A pitch for a film. I setup the asset and supervised the whole job. It is a tape worm which comes out of the toilet in this scene.
